Oh María Luz you are a rockstar. I lovingly carried this bottle back from my first trip to Chile, having been bowled over by this fierce female winemaking pioneer who runs Casa Marin with her son. From the chilliest part of San Antonio Valley, a stone’s throw from the sea, Luz’s wine shimmer with acidity and vibrate with energy. At 12 years of age this Syrah is absolutely singing with gorgeous green olive salinity backed by blackberry bramble, dried herbs, white pepper and dried currants. Fantastic acidity and faint tannins make this an utterly effortless mouthful. I wish I had another bottle. Or five. — 5 years ago

Took a long time to open up and would suggest decanting. Pulled through with a huge amount of fruit and super smooth. — 9 years ago

Редко встретишь в этой ценовой категории хороший Мальбек. Этот - хороший: цвет мрачный, аромат сильный, слегка дымный, слегка в дуб, слегка в травяные ноты (не нотки). Вкус мощный, ошущаются гребни, давили с лозой. Сорт выражен правильно, уверенно. Мальбек - сила! — 6 years ago
